Gene's occupies a single intimate dining room in historic Dublin, run by chef Bobby Moore with Michael Vehlber as general manager and Dustin Snow as proprietor. It's a sister restaurant to the neighboring Coast Wine House, and that connection shows: the menu is seasonal new-American, built alongside a wine-forward beverage program that treats ingredients and bottles with equal attention.
The room is set up for lingering — date nights, catch-ups, celebrations that stretch across shared dishes and multiple bottles of wine. Regulars point to the service and the wine and cocktail program as standouts, alongside a cozy atmosphere that has made the restaurant a word-of-mouth favorite in the neighborhood.
Columbus Monthly named Gene's one of its Best New Restaurants of 2025.
